Abstract Objects are the building blocks of experience, but what do we mean by an object?
Increasingly, neuroscientists refer to'auditory objects', yet it is not clear what properties these …

The individual functional properties and spatial arrangement of afferent synaptic inputs on
dendrites have a critical role in the processing of information by neurons in the mammalian …

Cortical circuits work through the generation of coordinated, large-scale activity patterns. In
sensory systems, the onset of a discrete stimulus usually evokes a temporally organized …

Developmental deficits that affect speech perception increase the risk of language and
literacy problems, which can lead to lowered academic and occupational accomplishment …

Reliably detecting unexpected sounds is important for environmental awareness and
survival. By selectively reducing responses to frequently, but not rarely, occurring sounds …

Cortical processing of auditory stimuli involves large populations of neurons with distinct
individual response profiles. However, the functional organization and dynamics of local …

Abstract System identification is a growing approach to sensory neurophysiology that
facilitates the development of quantitative functional models of sensory processing. This …

The auditory cortex of the rat is becoming an increasingly popular model system for studies
of experience-dependent receptive field plasticity. However, the relative position of various …

How do cortical neurons represent the acoustic environment? This question is often
addressed by probing with simple stimuli such as clicks or tone pips. Such stimuli have the …
